BARE grew out of the idea to reduce one's Twitter timeline to bare tweets - blog-post-like writings devoid of media, links, hashtags, or any social interaction mechanics. Once you sign up with BARE, it will continuously check your Twitter timeline and only show you the long-form text-based tweets in it. Like a good old blog reader.<p>But why do that, you may ask? What's the point?<p>Because, we believe that this is one of the easiest ways to discover people's true personality, beneath the chatter and and social media clickbait. It is also a naturally distraction-free method to keep oneself concentrated over the content without the urge to skim and keep scrolling down. One of the easiest ways to evoke concentration is to reduce the sources of distraction.<p>Is anybody actually writing such tweets?
A lot of people. Check the tiny portion we follow here: <a href="https://bare.tw/" rel="nofollow">https://bare.tw/</a> and discover the ones in your timeline by signing up.
Interesting project but I know there are all kinds of special limits to the API endpoints so I wonder how Bare is able to get around them or if the subscription model involves Twitter on the backend to allow more calls etc.
